DOWN GO SUIT PRICES

The MISFIT CLOTHING PAR
LORS never carry stocks from one
season to another. To keep con-
tracts we have had to buy largely Of
Suits. 1t hasn't been particularly
brisk season for we retail clotbiers,
and as we want to get rid OF all our
Suits before the first Of spring, prices
have to drop. This makes a bonanza
for buyers, and as it is cheaper to buy
fine custom made clothing at prices
much less than ordinary factory
work retails for, we expect to be ex-
ceedingly busy.

saving it; if you want clothing, and
want it good as well as cheap, your

1t is not hard to understand why
the MISFIT CLOTHING PAR
LORS, No. 262 Second street, sell
Fine Clothing at such extremely low
prices. When goods are bought at
exceedingly low rates they can be
sold extremely low. This is the Sc
cret Of success with the MISFIT
CLOTHING PARLORS. The
tailors sacrifice to us; we ask but a
low profit from you, and the result is
that you get custom made clothing
at about one-half its original value.

BIRDS When properly trained, he will give
the birds to captains of vessels, who will take
them out to seq and iberate them At first
he will take them out four or five miles,
gradually increasing the distance until the
West Indies are reached. 1t will enable the
signal service, if the birds can be successfully
trained. to give quicker and more definite and
reliable information in regard to the preva-

English College Girls, Rooms.

I have spent part of the week in Cam
bridge, where WIS invited to visit at Newn-
ham college, and have come very clearly to
understand the charm Of such university
town to those who have been so happy as to
he resident there. It is f'tbe longn now-as
they call the summer vacation-and only
few students arc 'up" reading hard for hon.
ors; but one could get very good idea Of
what the college life might be. In Wellesley
college two girls share the same bedroom,
and each two have also jointly little sitting
room. At Newnham no one short Of q lee
turer has sitting room, but each student
hos bedroom exclusively her own.
Ono of these rooms occupied-a room in
tho North hall, which, during term time, is
under tho charge OF the vice principal, Miss
Helen Gladstone. 1t wss room which
seemed to Inc very characteristic Of the
ideas of the university. Tie bed was small
and narrow, like monks in convent.
There were six chairs, three Of them
quite luxurious, for NeMnharn is quito
sociable. There was O dear, old fask-
toned desk, just like ono at which my
father and my grandfather and my great
grandfather used to sit and sum up
their accounts with tho world. A shelf ran
the whole length Of the room, at convenient
height, for pretty things to stand Oil. There
wns capaciou. set of bookshelves, and this
was oil the furniture, except small wash
stand and looking glass only II by 10inches
in size, tho tinicst looking glass. surely, at
which feminine vanity was ever expected to
tie its ribbons. Perhaps there Is no feminine

Railroads I'm China.

It isstated that asyndicate Of Philadelphia
capitalists has been formed for the purpose
of establishing complete system Of rail-
roads, telephones, banks, ,;1nines4 aud iron
manufactures in the Chinese empire. The
railroad lines, as contemplated, will be four,
one from Tien-Tsin, the seaport Of Pohin, to
Shanghai; one inland from Shanghai to Nam
kin, and one thence south to Canton. The
fourth line will extend, across the Russian
frontier at the north, and the whole system,
If constructed, will embrace over 1000 miles
of seacoast and inland railroads In the
mountainous regions Of northern China there
are extensive iron deposits, and there is coal
all over tile country, both Of which will be
developed and utilized The banking idea
embraces Che establishment Of banks Of do
post and issue, dealing also in securities.
The policy of the syndicate will be to employ
Chinese material and native labor, using The
latter for every position save the highest
offices. The enterprise differs from previous
efforts in that the Chinese government has
promised its cooperation, and Chinese CAPT.
tai is largely enlisted in the proposed opera
lions. The syndicate is to have the absolute
control for fifty years OF the telephone sys-

Tho Coming Self a1ade Man.

In one way and another there are hundreds
of boys today. manly, independents, self reli-
ant and determined, who. are forcing from
untoward circumstance the education. which
they desire, not for its money value i'll tho
work of after lifo, but because education In
and of itself is to them the supremest good.
In no other country of the world could this
spectacle be seen. Yet here it is becoming
commoner instead of rnrer; and tue old idea
